Summary
The facility's Quality Assurance Committee did not ensure the effectiveness of the Plan of Correction for previously identified deficiencies from the Annual Long Term Care Survey Process. Specifically, the same deficiencies—F684 and F812—were cited again during a follow-up survey. F684 was cited due to the facility's failure to adequately assess and monitor a resident after an unwitnessed fall. F812 was cited for the facility's failure to maintain the kitchen in a clean and sanitary manner and to ensure that foods were properly labeled and dated. These deficiencies were confirmed through record review and interviews, and the findings were discussed with the Executive Director and interim DON during the exit conference.
